Fix Common 1.4 TFSi TSi Problems & Issues 🔧[Troubleshooting]

In this video, we're going to discuss some of the common problems and pitfalls that you get with the 1.4 TFSI's and TSI engines.

I regard this, especially the EA211 and Gen 3 versions to be the best TFSi engines VAG group have produced. They have addressed and mitigated most of the early issues on direct injection engines. The EA111 is also included in this video along with the twincharged version, which had it's fair share of issues.

Don't worry too much about the TSI and tfsi; the T stands for turbo, and the FSI and Si stands for fuel stratified injection or stratified injection, and that just refers to the direct injection method.

The labeling between cars in the Volkswagen Audi group leaves a lot to be desired; they seem to randomly use terms on their engines describing exactly the same engine.

The goal of this article is simply to assist you in identifying these issues before they become major issues.

Some of the problems are quite common and are regularly reported, and most of them are things that you can do something about if you're aware that there is a potential weak spot there and completely avoid the problem in the first place.
